Review of Frank's Place

In the first episode, in the first scene in the diner, a Jimmy Rushing record was playing on the jukebox. I had two reactions: 1. They made this show just for me! 2. It's doomed. Sure enough, the programming geniuses at CBS White Shadowed it. For those unfamiliar with the term, the verb "to White Shadow", from the series of that name, means to repeatedly preempt a show for cartoon "specials" and move it all over the schedule so people who want to see it can't find it, then cancel it because not enough people are watching. As others have commented, this was one of the best TV series ever made. The writing was superb, the acting wonderful, and the music a delight. It can't be available on DVD soon enough.
